No one can ever truly know who another person really is. I know, it’s a simplistic view of looking at the film, but follow: The movie is about the search for meaning of something – what is Rosebud? – that…
Product thinking is a more holistic view than UX/design thinking… and it’s also much more complicated. I’ve been both a product designer and a UX consultant, and when you work in product design you have to think about a lot…
Not surprising that Orson would say something like this – he spent his life chasing money for his film projects, and had to adjust his vision and refine his work based on the limitations this “hustling” required. But this statement…
Stay at the Swan and Dolphin. It’s NOT a Disney hotel, and yet.. it is. Owned by the Sheraton chain, the hotel allows you get almost all the benefits of saying “on property” without having to pay the “Disney tax.”…
Why not? Here may be some reasons: The number of 25 has a lot of symbolism… Number 25 Symbolism, 25 Meaning and Numerology Or maybe it is a because it is a perfectly cromulent number: 25 (number) Whatever the reason,…
The three are different, but not as much as you may think. Let’s talk about stories. No, not user stories… stories. We are wired to engage with and tell stories – it is a seminal part of the human species.…
Are the rumors that William Shatner made $600 million off Priceline stock true? Note exactly. He was paid in stock before, and now he is paid per commercial. Details from Celebrity Net Worth: Did Shatner Make $600 Million off Priceline?…

Leadership, mentorship, passion, and business acumen. Leadership in that that person must set the standards and direction for the organizations’ offerings, be they products, services, or both. How much due diligence should be done to ensure designs align with user…
“My dear girl, there are some things that just aren’t done, such as drinking Dom Perignon ’53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!” – Goldfinger My second favorite:…
Great question. I’d start with the movie that (I think) is the most accessible movie to kids: The Spy Who Loved Me. It has a very simple plot, has some great BIG “Bond moments”, it doesn’t have many really “scary”…
Not bad, but not as good as they used to be. These days, companies large and small are often looking for something know as a “UX unicorn” – a designer that can do research, detailed documentation, research findings, develop the…
I can think of three reasons: First, he didn’t make a lot of films. He only directed 13 movies, and two of those were low-budget “B” movies that were… well, not great. So, when you do 11 films over 43…
I think it’s already become less effective, and less frequently used as a result. Here’s my reasons: Points without value. Gaining points while doing a task is great… if they are actually worth something. The problem is, unless the points…
Yes and no. Big Data provides… well, big data. Lots of data. This data needs to be parsed, analyzed and understood. It is (potentially) a source for user insights and understanding that is unparalleled. It can provide a lot of…
